My first year experiencing Texas bluebonnets, I was pulled over by the cops.
Our second year (last year) the whole state was in a horrible drought and I think I saw 2 flowers all Spring.
This year, Mother Nature has been kind.
Lucy has been learning about Texas history in her kindergarten class and was thrilled the first time she spotted a bluebonnet, “Mom! That’s the Texas state flower!” So we ventured out for a closer look.
And though it’s not illegal to pick a bluebonnet (just socially frowned upon), the kids were a bit reluctant to tromp through the field. Owen especially didn’t want to crush any flowers. Sweet kids.
But I lured them in long enough to snap a few photos.
and a few goofy moments.
Thank you Texas for sharing your beauty with us.
